Calling for pass from Ai players

Please change the button to "call for a pass". The "call for a pass" button should be different than the pass button. 

example -If you call for a pass and the pass comes at the same time, then your player will pass the puck away immediately instead of receiving the pass.  if you’re on a breakaway, call for a pass and the pass comes at the same time. you will dump the puck away into the corner or to their goalie. Makes for a lot of unnecessary turn overs and can be very frustrating..

When playing be a pro or WOC with AI teammate specifically, if you use "call for pass" button where your player taps his stick looking for a pass, and he passes the puck at the same time. you unintentionally one touch the puck away. this makes it hard to play player lock with AI teammates as their passing is unpredictable or non existent if you don’t call for the pass your self.

(Xbox) Instead of RT being pass / call for pass. Make the X button call of the pass, a button not used while not having the puck while your team has control of the puck. Or ability to button map.

  • X/square would be a little awkward in my opinion just because you'd be taking your thumb off the stick for a brief period but you're right, a better pass button would be a god send

    Hey there. This is something we're aware of. I agree it can be very frustrating. I'll pass on the feedback for you. Thank you!

    I don't know about this. I sometimes play with an AI LD (I'm RD) and there are times I like to call for a pass that I can then one touch to a teammate.

    Similar situation as when you try to shoot on a onetimer, and the puck doesn't make it to you. The same control to snapshot is the same control to hit. Puck doesn't get to, automatic interference penalty.
